Goodreads asked Louise Rotondo:

How do you get inspired to write?

Louise Rotondo Usually it's a visual trigger. In the last case a photo of ruins of a hut in Australia's Snowy Mountains started the thought process and then I get really keen to tell the story. Same thing happened in South Australia with an old farm house. Other times somebody will mention an idea and before I know it my mind has created a whole fantasy world around it and I will start to put down ideas and story lines.
